On November 29, 2021, the first edition of the Digital Humanities afternoons was held at Inalco's Maison de la Recherche.
The afternoon's objective was to present the LaCAS: Open Archive in Language and Cultural Area Studies platform.
The enthusiasm of the participants testifies to a dense program. The afternoon began with a presentation on the progress of research mapping launched thanks to the d-PaRSAS project in 2020 and continued with very rich interventions on the Digitization of Archives for Area studies-D-SAAS program and the presentation of the first Asian collections :
- the iconographic and audio-visual holdings of Dinh Trong Hieu, ethno-botanist (Vietnam: 460 books, 272 slides, 218 negatives);
- the photographic holdings of Pacific War memorial sites by Mickael Lucken, art historian (Japan: 2,000 photographs);
- the Siamese section's digitized resource library: writings and archives of Gilles Delouche (Thailand: 52 publications);
- the presentation of the archives of Daniel Negers, Telugu specialist, illustrated by extracts from his videos on the goddess Sattemma, recently put online (India, 1985-1990/2000-2005).
This was followed by a discussion of the portraits grand-format de chercheurs.e.s en études aréales (PEA program), implemented at Inalco over a year ago: excerpts from three interviews were broadcast. Find the full portraits on HAL.
The team working on the illustration and audiovisual documentation of areal studies and research themes (I-DEA) was also able to broadcast extracts from itsfilmed interviews (at the PLC or in the form of micro-trottoirs).
Finally, an update was given on the restitution process for Inalco's scientific events, the HAL repository and the integration of videos on LaCAS.
This first edition ended with a presentation of the 2022 outlook by M. Stockinger, vice-president of the Scientific Council.
The next edition of the Digital Humanities afternoons will take place on Monday March 14, 2022, at 3:30 pm, in the Auditorium of Inalco's Maison de la Recherche, 2 rue de Lille (Paris 7e).
